What filters would you recommend for a summer wedding? I expect it to mostly be held out doors in bright sunshine. At the moment I don't own any filters but will be buying some ND and a circ polariser. I'm guessing the circ polariser would be useful?
Does anyone have any links to using filters effectively?

I do use them.
I use my polarizer this weekend to take a few shots thru the back window of an antique car.
I want to get some ND filters to gain back my DOF when using flash as a fill.

What he said. IMHO, just one more thing that you'd have to worry about. I'm a big fan of the K.I.S.S. philosophy - especially when it comes to shooting weddings!

I usually don't have time to mess with changing filters. I use 2 bodies, each with a specific lens for specific types of shots and switch between the two. So far, I haven't had a really relaxed wedding environment to shoot in, so time management has been very important.

What's a filter?? Just kidding but seriusly, like the others, not enough time to mess with them. The only thing I could ever suggest is looking into a Pro4 system. They are actually pretty cool but I think more or less ideal for film shooters.
Check em out.... Pro4 Filter Systems (http://www.pro4.com/catalog/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=pro4&Category_Code=pro4_kits)

I have a CP filter for those really bright days but apart from that, photoshop does everything you need. Back when i used a film camera for weddings, i was changing filters all the time, and it did take a while....
